I finalized the electronics for the play (mic + mini sound card + rpi + battery powered speaker) I recorded some violin and synth for the sound effects, I also recorded some gongs. Tomorrow I'm finalizing the bug's costume, hopefully to have it ready for this Wednesday. The play is almost there, we need 1 actress to get her lines down and we're solid. I feel there are some tension building, we'll see if it comes out this Wednesday. My art director was a bit pissed at me last week and called me. I was pretty up front, "I hear that you're pissed I don't know what I can do to help you with that." I decided to paint part of the set in black, and she didn't agreed with that. I hope it's better for her now. There is a tech who seems to twist reality in a certain way, I have to keep an eye on her, I might need to 'fire' her. Or maybe, there are other ways. When I was afraid of being a director, I told myself, the worst that can happen is that I failed, and we can't present the play. I'm okay with that. I might fail. It somewhat reminded me of the idea of the samurai, who is already dead on the battlefield. When I can accept the worst case scenario, it's a lot easier to move forward.
